Here's an interesting article on Privacy and Copyright where the author believes you cannot have privacy if you have copyright laws the studios are hoping for.
They need to be working on extending the speeds out past 15,000 feet (5,000M)
That may have been the case in the 90s.
In the 21st century competitive telecom DSL providers are deploying FTTx technologies that reduce the loop length of the last mile so they can better serve subscribers and offer these higher speeds.
Unless you're getting fiber optics right to your house or your DSL provider really doesn't care about growing their network it is unlikely you'll ever see 5000M loop lengths with copper in the future.
At first I was aligned with your thinking, however the more I thought about it the more the guy made sense.
By using a basic, bare bones non-WYSIWYG editor and just doing a brain dump of prose in vi(m) or ed you can simply let your mind flow and not let it worry about how the document looks and get side tracked with formatting. Once you're done the draft, load it up in your favourite modern word processor and start formatting.
I've actually done this writing documentation: brain dump first, format later, and have found it to be much quicker. As an added bonus, the formatting exercise actually doubled as a good proof read step too.
I agree with you, AIX's SMIT was an excellent tool for learning. When I first began using AIX all of my UNIX experience was with HPUX, Solaris, Slackware and Red Hat. When I discovered SMIT it was like peering in the Ark without all the melting...
This is a great book that is platform agnostic: Database Design for Mere Mortals. It goes through each phase of developing a database using an evolving project from conception to final product. It focuses on design and less on SQL and specific database software. Highly recommend!
From an open minded perspective is purchasing, selling, growing and/or smoking marijuana evil? If only consenting adults are involved I doubt it, however if pre-adults are involved, perhaps. So I suppose the answer would be no... and yes.
Last I checked I don't have any interests in Google being in China or not.
I agree with your statement that there is more or less a universal ideal (idea?) of good and evil.
I believe killing somebody, truly Evil, sharks with freakin' laser beams on their heads, humorously evil and censoring search results that can be had uncensored elsewhere are two different levels of Evil and one attempt at following the law, officially or unofficially, of the Chinese land.
After all, laws are simply decrees by a country's government or ruler and each country has a different version of Evil: for example, one may purchase a gram of marijuana in Amsterdam at a coffee shop with zero worry of going to court, paying a fine, getting literally stoned or perchance going to f*ck me in the ass penitentiary, unlike other places in the world like Saudi Arabia or some States in the USA.
I believe Evil is a relative term: if you ask the Chinese government, censoring search results is not Evil therefore Google is not doing Evil by censoring search results in China.
Making people pay for posts. Making people pay for email. That will stop spam dead in its tracks.
I believe various Postal services already charge money to deliver hard copies of SPAM. I doubt charging for posts or e-mail will stop spam dead in its tracks because I receive quite a bit of junk mail in my mailbox from Monday to Friday, except for holidays.
Charging for posts or e-mail may decrease the volume slightly and it would most certainly minimize the noise, although some people would still pay $0.25 or more just to have "first post". E-mail service providers would become more profitable and if you consider the cost of paper, envelops, stuffing envelops, licking envelops, applying postage to envelops and getting said stuffed envelops out for delivery, sending out junk mail electronically in the form of posts and e-mail is much cheaper even if you charged the price of a typical stamp for letter mail per post or e-mail.
I believe charging per post or e-mail would be of greater impact to the freedom, openness and appeal of the Internet itself than to SPAM.

Yes, Western Digital media players.

Will Monster make a special gold-plated, oxygenated cable for it?
How about a cable in the $500 price range?
